SPORTING AND LEISURE ACTIVITES

Scuba diving
Rated amongst the best in the world, with good diving conditions all year round (best in Summer from November to May), Natal has three popular dive spots each one a unique experience.
Sodwana, meaning "little one on its own" in Zulu, is about a 4 hour drive from Durban with over 12 000 identified species of fish.

Aliwal Shoal is a 40 minute drive from Durban and is well known for its shark dives, where the migrating ragged tooth shark can be observed from July to November.
A fossilised sand dune forms the shoal about 5km from the coastline and is covered in a variety of sponges, hard and soft corals and inhabited by an abundance of cold water and warm water reef fish. A wreck dive of a Norwegian freighter can also be done on Aliwal shore at 30m below sea level.

Protea Banks, about 2 hours from Durban, is for the more adventurous diver. At 25m below sea level divers can expect to see pelagic fish and the larger sharks such as the Zambezi, Tiger and Hammerhead in summer and the Ragged tooth shark in winter months.

Micro lighting
Micro lighting flights over Valley of a thousand hills and Umdloti coastline are a spectacular way of seeing our golden coastline, rural villages, deep valleys and beautiful landscape.

More Adventure Sports
For the young at heart and adventurous visitors Natal has a variety of adventure sports to show off all that it has to offer.
Hikes, treks, mountain biking and 4x4 safari's are a great way to experience the mountainous regions of the Drakensberg, a World Heritage (WH) Site and wild coast in the Transkei.

Golf
Durban is a golfer's haven, with 12 challenging courses in and around Durban, some known for their beautiful surroundings.
Right in the centre of Durban is the Durban Country Club's course which is listed among the top 100 in the world. Some of the more scenic courses are found along the coast south of Durban, known as the Golf Coast.

Yacht trip
A pleasurable and surprisingly inexpensive way to experience Durban's coastline is on board a yacht for a champagne breakfast with dolphins at the bow.

For keen hikers there is the Igoso trail near Margate, and for a cultural slant local historians take tours along a winding footpath into the Zulu hills to learn about the traditions, customs and cuisines of the local people.
Further South, past Ramsgate the coast becomes more rugged with deep forests and nature reserves. The Wildcoast Sun offers nightlife and gambling entertainment.

North Coast
Also known as the Dolphin Coast, due to the frequent sightings of bottle nosed dolphins that play in the warm waters; attracted here by the relatively clear and shallow coastline which allows them closer to the coastline to feed.
The dolphins can be seen from the shore, by microlight or boat charters.

The North Coast stretches beyond the Tugela Northwards from Durban, here you will find long stretches of golden beaches, lagoons and some of the largest thickly forested coastal dunes in the world.
